Mind Forest (2003), directed by James Prince, was a 'Proof of Concept Film' - a low budget (one hour) pilot film project filmed with the basic story elements in place as a proposal for a bigger budget, full film version. Despite its bare bones structure, the pilot film premiered at Comic-Con International in the summer of 2003, then was shown to sold out movie theater audiences at the Temecula Film Festival and other film festivals over the next two years. The project was shut down and shelved for 13 years and is being revived and reworked again with a new script and a forthcoming novel. Sample scenes from the original 2003 era pilot film starring Lauren Maher (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1266413/) and Jeff Marchelletta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Marchelletta) can be viewed on our site here.
Music Composer was Glenn Scott Lacey (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1011499/) with additional music contributors to the film including William Aura and 3rd Force of Higher Octave Music (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_Force), Jennifer Berezan of Edge of Wonder Records, and Jimmy Famous and Zone 4.
Story:
Tale of a young woman haunted by centuries old visions of Plymouth, Massachusetts from 1631. Cassandra attends the wake of her great grandmother, Zelda, while visiting her hometown. There was always something "witchy" about Zelda and the two were very close. Cassandra finds a mysterious trunk upstairs in the loft of her girlhood home left to her by her great grandmother. Unlocking the chest opens a doorway to 1631 Plymouth and sends her on a strange journey of self-discovery. Cassandra, fiercely independent and strong-willed, must find answers. Before leaving her hometown, and with the help of her two girlhood friends, Lori, a partying free-spirit, and Ashley, serious and reserved, Cassandra struggles to understand the ghosts invading her world. The three friends are witches on a quest, and a moonlit ritual offers an alarming burst of visions. On the long drive home, her boyfriend, Michael, wonders if Cassandra is losing her mind. Michael is a practical sort and tells Cassandra she's just tired and under a lot of stress. However, he tries to help her find reconciliation with the alleged apparitions, without really believing her. He'd much rather she shut up and be married to him... At night, Cassandra bolts upright from bed only to see a strange woman in a green robe moving through a dark forest. Dreams and waking mesh... A large, gray haired man leading a circle of witches in the forests of Plymouth enters her waking consciousness. Cassandra fights to keep her hold on reality as two realms collide. What she finds at the end of the road will completely transform her world.
